Donation to Lexington Medical Clinic

The Southern Arizona Advanced Practice Nurse - Nurse Practitioner Society

Dear SAZAPN/NPS Members,

We have sent a $500 donation to Lexington Medical Clinic in Lexington, Mississippi.  I included a note with the following message:

This donation is given on behalf of the two Sisters (and Nurse Practitioners) from your community who were recently murdered.  As Advanced Practice Nurses, we fully appreciate the work they devoted their lives to and the loss that you and your patients must be experiencing.

Please use this donation for the care of uninsured and underinsured patients.

with love and blessings,

Paula Christianson-Silva, DNP, FNP-BC, ANP-BC

President

on behalf of Southern Arizona Advanced Practice Nurse / Nurse Practitioner Society

Thanks to Lisa Kiser for suggesting this and helping with the research.
